Does anyone else's bluetooth system hold onto the phone after you have switched off and left the car. This is a problem for me as the car is parked next to the house and it holds the phone for a good while, meaning any calls go to the car/speakers rather than the handset. I have yet to see if this is associated with the LandRover logo display on the dash but I know that this stays on for a while after leaving the car as well.

It is due to the fact that the car's BT module remains active after you have turned off & removed the key. Not sure how long this continues for (this length of time has been discussed often on here, because it's the same time that the Satnav screen stays lit for).... BT range is about 30 feet so as long as you remain within 30 ft of the car it'll answer "in the car" and not on your phone. It's inconvenient, but you might just need to unpair the phone when you head indoors... |

Yep, it's a problem. Also if you are walking to your car and talking on your phone. That annoys me more! My phones (Nokia 3230) right hand button reverts to "Handset" when it detects a bluetooth connection. If you press that, it releases the bluetooth so you can you the phone.

Because on my phone its: "Menu" "Settings" "Connectivity" "Bluetooth" "Bluetooth On/Off" and the reverse to switch it back on. And my previous car with a Nokia kit worked fine. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit |

I have the car cradle as well - so I could turn the bluetooth off, but its useful for when you forget to cradle the phone and it still pairs with the car.

Another reason why the PTI isn't perfect... but I think the benefits outweigh the negatives |
